Emergency Communications 9-1-1

The Labette County Emergency Communications Center (LCEC) serves as the primary link between the public and emergency responders across Labette County. Our communications Division is responsible for receiving emergency and non-emergency calls and dispatching the appropriate police, fire, and medical services quickly and efficiently.
Our highly trained dispatchers gather critical information, provide life-saving instructions when necessary, and ensure responders have the information they need to act. We are committed to professionalism, accuracy, and teamwork in every call we handle.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to:

• Providing fast, accurate, and professional emergency communications
• Supporting responders and partner agencies through effective coordination
• Maintaining a high level of public trust and confidence
• Promoting cooperation between the community and emergency services

Professional Training & Life-Saving Instructions

Our dispatchers receive specialized training to ensure the highest level of service to the public. This includes certification through the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) in:

• Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD)
• Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD)

Through this training, our personnel are able to provide pre-arrival instructions, including CPR guidance and other life-saving directions, while emergency responders are en route. These instructions can make a critical difference in the outcome of an emergency.

Our Communications Center handles a high volume of calls and incidents each year. In 2025, LCEC:

• Managed over 45,000 Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) incidents
